Virginia 1st-grade teacher who was shot by student was fired, attorney says [View all]

First-grade teacher Abby Zwerner who was shot by her 6-year-old student in January no longer works for Newport News Public Schools.

WAVY obtained a copy of an email sent to Zwerner on May 22 that states, “NNPS has processed a separation of employment for you effective the close of business 06/12/2023.”

The one-page email from the Human Resources Department explains exiting information, per standard NNPS policy.

Zwerner’s attorney Jeffrey Breit on Tuesday called this a firing.

“I don’t think you can read this any other way than you’ve been fired. And that’s what she thinks. She doesn’t understand it; there’s no other communication,” Breit said told WAVY.
